    As I said before, I don't care, let tge owners of the rights/property do what ever they want even if it hurts some people's poor little feelings.

    I dunno if they are friends, but he and George Jefferson got to a spot of mutual understanding before the Jeffersons spin off.

    You know that Star Trek isn't just about what is in-universe, right? The whole point of it has been to give commentary on social issues. Sisko was the perfect character to not only tell stories that reminded us of the lengths we still have to go to to overcome race issues, but the very fact of him being black and the captain was a way of demonstrating a hopeful future where the people of all races can ascend to the highest position of authority and respect - just as Janeway was a symbol of gender equality.

    If that passed you by, well I find that a little sad.

    From his comment from way back when the US tried to bring Roman Polanski back from France. From what I remember of that thread, the way he phrased it pissed off more than just Sokar, but it's since been cleared up that Doc has a problem with the court trying to back out of the ridiculously light sentence.

    I think Polanski should be hung by his nutsack, but I can't say I don't understand that part of the argument and what a slippery slope it is to have judges change their minds.

    Basically, there was serious judicial and prosecutorial misconduct that should have resulted in the entire thing being thrown out. At least one sitting judge in the US has admitted as much, but he also acknowledged that such a finding would be a career killer for any judge unlucky enough to have to make that ruling. I don't have that much faith in the American legal system, so I see no reason for him to go back and try his luck. Even the very worst criminals deserve a fair trial. :shrug:

    See, this is an example of you not listening again. I don't care how property owners reimagine their characters and have said so multiple times in this thread. I also don't give a fuck about comic books much less 3rd tier comic book characters.

    So maybe next time you could learn to read what people actually wrote instead of simply imagining what you wished they would have written and then falsely attributing it to them? I call that the reality based approach.

    In the show it was more of a case where the two wives were friends so the two husbands sat around taking pot shots at each other. The banter was pretty good and it shot the Jefferson's up to their own show in no time. It was certainly better than Sanford and Son.

    I think there are still Jefferson's reruns on the air.

    That history will still be there.
    In fact, she'll still be a redhead in the comics.
    It's just the MCU, which is, and always has been, an elseworld.

    Hey! Look, I finally made a list. I rated your post dumb because it's a dumb post. "Oh, if you don't agree with my morals you need to be beaten up daily." Yeah, great progressive mindset there, fucknut.

    Someone upthread mentioned cultural erasure, and I was working up a parody response about Irish oppression, but, that's something that actually happens so...I'm just gonna blatantly state my point. Erasure is stupid no matter who or what culture you do it to, if you want better representation than create a new character that flies whatever flags you want. Just don't make those flags the character's sole motivation or mindset, or they are gonna suck.

    No one is erasing anything, cockgobbler.

    As its been stated over again in this thread, having ONE depiction of Mary Jane Watson vary from the countless others is far from an erase. By the time Zendaya costs too much for Sony to pay for in the reboot after next, she'll probably be a lily white redhead again. Geez.

    Now, if we wanna get into erasing history I can get into Black Wall Street in what used to be the Little Africa district of. Tulsa before the Klan torched it in 1929. Not a lot of people knew about that before Facebook and BLM folks began posting about it on the regular.

    But a comic book series that's had as many revisions as the Christian Bible? Yeah, I'm not losing sleep behind it, sorry.

    I'm not saying that this is a case of such, but the post was kinda permissive of erasure if it happens to whites, and that is what I was responding to, horse cunt.

    "Cultural erasure", is that a new re-branding of "white genocide*"?
    The Klan usually isn't sneaky with their buzzwords.

    "Cultural erasure" is primarily used by black people and the white guilt socjus types, you small minded little pedant.
